Public Administration Adviser calls for linking local resources and production with the market

The Adviser said that to implement Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's philosophy of state governance and development ideas, a transparent, accountable and efficient public administration must be built. A state system must be established where there is no opportunity for corruption, money laundering and misuse of public resources. Besides, to implement the election manifesto, everyone must play a responsible and active role like a field marshal.

He said that in line with BNP's election commitments, field administration must work sincerely to achieve the goal of raising per capita income to 4,500 dollars by 2031 and building a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2034. For this, the economic activities of every upazila must be linked with national development. Along with ensuring the proper use of government allocations, the benefits and effectiveness of investment in development projects must be taken into consideration. He called for identifying promising young men and women, students and social development workers at the local level and engaging them in the development of the state and society.

Addressing the new officers, the Public Administration Adviser said that young officers must be courageous in accepting new ideas, taking timely decisions and discharging responsibilities. At the same time, they must acquire skills in the effective use of artificial intelligence (AI) and information technology. Leadership does not mean merely giving instructions; rather, it means empowering others and moving forward with everyone.

He further said that one of the government's commitments is to build an efficient, transparent, accountable and professional public administration. A firm stance must be taken against irregularities and harassment. Work must be done in coordination with public representatives, civil society and people of various professions and classes at the local level. The success of a UNO will be determined on the basis of how many ordinary people's lives have become easier and how much people's trust in the administration has increased. He called for considering the UNO position not merely as a job but as a trust bestowed by the people, and discharging duties with honesty, dedication and responsibility.

In his speech as special guest at the event, Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration Md. Kamruzzaman Chowdhury said that officials must demonstrate honesty, talent, efficiency and competence in implementing the government's election manifesto. Work must be done with a leadership attitude, taking everyone along. Protecting public interest and fulfilling people's expectations must be given the highest priority.

The event was presided over by Rector (Secretary) of the BCS Administration Academy Md. Abdur Rauf, NDC. Faculty members of the academy were present at the time.
